Set against an urban backdrop of seedy motels and dilapidated houses next to industrial buildings and railroad tracks, Stella Pope Duartes award-winning stories follow characters who make up the citys underbelly. Some strut through the lethal streets, flamboyant and hard to missflashy divas, transvestites, and prostitutes, like Valentine, one of the girls who decorated Van Buren Street like ornaments dangling precariously on a Christmas tree. Others remain hidden, invisible to those who dont seek them outbag ladies, illegals, and addicts. Many of the stories feature young people who know too much, too soon. An eight-year-old girl finally meets the addict father she has never known. A boy falls to his death and, though his older brother is blamed, young Sarita isnt sure her fourth-grade classmate was responsible. And two children, unbeknownst to their parents, befriend a suspected child molester. This collection of short stories set in Phoenix, Arizona, reveals the hard-scrabble lives of big-hearted people living on the razor-edge of city life.
